Shiny new toy...

[tencrush]

So, tomorrow, eh? Where are we all putting our money, kiddoes?

Mine's still on Richard Coyle, Patterson Joseph is an elaborate ruse, mark my words.

Or Richard Ayoade.

Any Richard, really, my money's on a Dick of some sort.

If Richard Ayoade was Eleven, it would be the best thing in the history of the world. I'm curious as to why your money's on Richard Coyle? I haven't heard his name bandied around, though I haven't really been looking either.

(Not that I disapprove, because he is ace.)

I don't want it to be Patterson Joseph because I don't think he's a very good actor, but I fear the mob's retribution if I said this anywhere.

Someone posted on the crackpot theory that its Lexa Doig on the anon meme.

I am still holding out hope for Paterson Joseph as he's awesome....but whomever it is, they will be awesome.

ETA: Supposedly The Guardian is saying its between Joseph, the other guys who's name I can't pronounce let alone spell, and Ben Wishaw (who I just went and looked up and he looks WAY too much like Tennant for it to be serious).

I've been ignoring the speculation so I didn't know this - Richard Coyle's in the running??! I LOVE HIM!

*crosses everything*

I don't know if this is something that's already been discussed to death elsewhere, but I've been wondering: since they're replacing Tennant what are they going to do about that whole ginormously important relationship that Ten!doctor is supposed to have with River Song sometime in his future?

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Someone elsewhere handwaved it as River actually meeting up with Hand!Doctor while he'd managed to stray into "our" universe through that oh-so-impermeable rift-between-realities from the zep!verse.

It happened between episodes?

IIRC, River never said she'd met this version of the Doctor before. She said that he was 'younger than she'd ever seen him', which didn't necessarily mean that she'd met say a 50year old looking Ten, just that whichever version 11, 12, 13 she'd met was older looking. So they could still have her meeting 11.

[cirrocumulus.livejournal.com]

I suppose that is possible, but River recognized Ten the second she saw him which makes me think she must have seen Ten before.

I am too excited to speculate. But I will speculate about how many minutes after the announcement the first Eleven slash will appear on LJ:

11.

[kateorman.livejournal.com]

Never mind that - I'm still waiting with bated breath for your remarks about the latest Blue Gillespie concert.

[tigercheetah.livejournal.com]

Heee, I'm not overly-excited about who the new Doctor is either, though I'm curious of course. I'm annoyed that I can't get on the Torchwood forum because of this announcement. :)

[tigercheetah.livejournal.com]

Unless you were joking!

[kateorman.livejournal.com]

TBH when I saw it was about to be announced my sad little fangirl heart nearly leapt out of my chest. Followed rapidly by the even sadder thought, "I hope it's not James Nesbitt. I don't think I could fancy James Nesbitt."

[tencrush]

Yeah, Nesbitt's too fug.

[kateorman.livejournal.com]

God, we're shallow.

Still hope it's not Nesbitt tho.

[tigercheetah.livejournal.com]

Apparently someone bumped into Peter Davidson a week ago and he told them that the announcement would be made this Saturday but it will be someone most people have never heard of. Don't know if it's true or not.

[louisema.livejournal.com]

OH GOD PLEASE NO.

[tencrush]

There was pie in evidence, I might illustrate later.

[kateorman.livejournal.com]

I though it set some sort of new pie record.

[tencrush]

You reckon? I obviously haven't been paying close enough attention. I shall go inspect. Somewhere.

[tardislassy.livejournal.com]

WHAT THE HELL?! HOW HAVE I MISSED THIS??!!

[tencrush]

They're telling us about 22 hours from now. My money's on Ejiofor now. I'm changing my mind every 2 minutes.

[jo02]

Don't feel too bad - I completely missed this too *g*
At least we have warning now it's coming up!
I must admit that I'm more excited about how they're gonna play the first meeting between Jack and the new Doctor whenever it happens.

[tencrush]

I seriously doubt Jack will ever meet 11.

[jo02]

Why - what do you know ??? (note you have my undivided attention now!)

[tencrush]

Just a hunch. I think Jack's story (and Torchwood) will have ended by the time 11 takes over.

[jo02]

I normally trust your instincts very much, but just for now (and until TWs3 is over) I am going to put my hands over my ears and sing LALALA very loudly.

[louisema.livejournal.com]

Might join you on that.

[tardislassy.livejournal.com]

I'm rather ashamed to admit that I screamed a little when I saw this. :S
And I'm the same, changing my mind every time I hear about a new possibility. But I really hope it's not James Nesbitt...

[cprefect.livejournal.com]

Ten I almost feel out of my chair I was laughing so hard! (oh no bad pun)
my money's on a Dick of some sort.

OMFG that is funny!

Thank you for that! I seem to be the object of all the patrons in the library!

And how have I missed this? Geez two days into 2009 and I am already behind the eight ball.

[radiant-pip.livejournal.com]

Oh, it would be the best new year's start ever if it were Richard Coyle. So, of course, it won't be Richard Coyle; and since I was never expecting it to be him until I saw this post today, I will be seriously crushed. '09 sucks. ;)

John Simm for the win!! (It could happen.)
